HITACHI SOCIAL INNOVATION FORUM 2017

Bringing businesses together to collaborate on innovative technologies and business solutions to address trends and challenges in society

Hitachi Limited’s unique Social Innovation Forum (HSIF) returned to Brisbane on Tuesday 28th November 2017, this time focusing on digital transformation in mining and agriculture. HSIF is a series of events held by Hitachi Limited to introduce its activities through presentations, panel discussions, exhibits and to share perspectives and visions as part of Hitachi’s efforts to promote collaborative creation. Social Innovation is about using innovative technologies and business solutions to address the key trends and challenges facing society.

This event was the third of its kind in the region, following the highly successful debut of HSIF in Sydney last year, and a second forum earlier this year in Brisbane focusing on transportation and public safety.

Following the opening plenary, guests were invited to attend two industry-specific panel sessions; Technology in Agriculture and Digital Transformation in Mining, which addressed how Hitachi and its stakeholders aim to bring positive change to individuals in Australian society through Social Innovation in the agriculture and mining sector.
